framework
- Multiscale Competency Architectureassociated_withA framework originating from Levin that formalizes how hierarchical biological systems—from cells to tissues to organs—exhibit integrated problem-solving and adaptive plasticity across multiple levels of organization (metabolic, transcriptional, physiological, anatomical). It models system-level behaviors as emergent from competition and cooperation among heterogeneous subunits within composite agents, explaining how goals and regulations scale across biological scales.

- The mathematically natural computation for cyclic concepts (e.g., addition mod 12 for months), which the paper shows Llama does NOT directly implement
- Inherent in Linda because an in statement chooses one matching tuple arbitrarily; essential for many parallel patterns.
- Property of minds to adapt to radical changes in substrate, form, and embodiment across lifetime and evolution.
- The sequential, continuous order of text, often challenged by diagrammatic branching.
- The directness of motivation by practical concerns, characteristic of living processes in the examples.
- Formal notion of what constitutes an individual agent; bridges Buddhist and information-theoretic perspectives.
- Component of EI measuring how uniquely the current state determines the future state.
- Physical plasticity of individual cells or particles enabling adaptation to novel environments.
